This 1988 Tiara Yachts 3600 Express Special is a unique Special construction version of the 3600 Open, measuring 12.62 meters overall. Located in Sardinia, Italy, this used boat has been kept in good condition through consistent annual maintenance. Recent major technical work includes a 2023 engine refit involving the removal of the twin 375 HP Caterpillar 3208 units for comprehensive service of turbos, injectors, cooling systems, and electrical wiring. Further upgrades in 2025 included fuel tank cleaning and additional mechanical updates, ensuring strong reliability with a cruising speed of 24 knots and a top speed of 30 knots.
Designed to balance performance and comfort, the vessel features an expansive cockpit with an electrically operated table, outdoor refrigerator, and sink. The interior offers a private forward master cabin with a double bed, a separate bathroom with a shower, and a convertible dinette that provides additional sleeping space. The galley is well-equipped with a gas stove, sink, and refrigerator, while the saloon includes entertainment systems like Fusion audio and a television.
Technically advanced for its year, the boat is outfitted with a Raymarine electronics suite including a C120 plotter, radar, autopilot, and VHF. Power management is handled by a comprehensive battery array and a 4.5 KW Paguro generator. The exterior package is equally complete, featuring a blue Umbrella canvas enclosure with removable windows, additional sun awnings, and both aluminum and carbon fiber manual gangways. A 2.4-meter tender with a 2017 6HP Yamaha engine is included.
This vessel is ideal for owners looking for a proven, well-documented platform that bridges the gap between a high-performance day cruiser and a capable fisherman. With a Rina certificate valid until 2029 and comprehensive maintenance records, it offers a solid foundation for its next owner. The VAT is paid, and the boat is available for inspection in Porto Cervo.
